On This Day — August 23, 1929
Nineteen years before the State of Israel was reborn, Arab mobs slaughtered Jews in Jerusalem.
After the imam’s sermon at Al-Aqsa, the cry “Attack the Jews” spread through the crowd. Mobs poured out of the mosque into the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. Armed with clubs, knives, sabres, and pitchforks, they beat, stabbed, and murdered. Seventeen Jews were killed that day.
The violence exploded outward.
In Hebron the next day, 67 Jews (mostly Orthodox men, women, and children) were slaughtered in two hours. British officer Raymond Cafferata later testified that he saw an Arab cutting off a Jewish child’s head with a sword. He shot the attacker. Moments later, he found an Arab policeman from Jaffa bending over a blood-covered Jewish woman with a dagger in his hand. Most Arab policemen refused to intervene or joined the rioters.
The atrocities were systematic and sadistic: eyes gouged out, breasts mutilated, rabbis castrated, yeshiva students’ throats slit one after another, girls and grandmothers gang-raped. A baker was bound and roasted alive. In one house the only object left intact was a portrait of Theodor Herzl, which the killers draped with a woman’s blood-soaked underwear.
60% of Jewish villages across British Mandate Palestine were attacked, six were completely wiped out. Safed was hit next. Eighteen more Jews murdered.
Final toll: 133 Jews killed, 339 wounded.
The ancient Jewish communities of Hebron and Safed were erased. Survivors were evacuated under British escort. Hebron remained Judenrein for decades.
This was a coordinated pogrom of murder, mutilation, and terror directed at Jews almost two decades before Israel’s independence.
A woman had Netflix for 6 years.
She opened the app. She scrolled. She picked something after 25 minutes. She fell asleep during episode 2. She repeated this every night.
Her friend, a former Netflix UI engineer, sat on her couch one evening and opened Settings on her account. He changed 9 things in under 15 minutes.
Her homepage transformed overnight. The autoplay trailers stopped. The "continue watching" list cleaned itself up. The recommendations got sharper. The buffering on her 4K TV disappeared. The categories multiplied from 30 to 2,200.
She said "it feels like a completely different app."
He said "it is. You've been using the factory settings for 6 years. Netflix ships the version that keeps you scrolling longest, not the version that helps you find something fastest."
Here's every setting he changed 🧵
According to Wall Street Journal, Trump has been receiving U.S. intelligence briefings detailing Ukraine’s expanded long range strike capabilities, and officials say he’s been impressed by how effective those strikes have become.
The same assessments describe rising war fatigue inside Russia, with public support for the conflict showing signs of decline.
According to the officials, these briefings have played a major role in Trump’s increasingly favorable stance toward Ukraine compared with his position last year.
FLUSHING, QUEENS, NYC — an epicenter for one of the biggest fraud rings you’ve never heard of: Social adult daycares.
In Queens, NY alone, social adult daycares generate $2.1 BILLION.
@nickshirleyy and I investigated, and the War on Fraud continues.
Stay tuned.
The UAE DID NOT ATTEND the funeral of the Islamic regime in Iran, as many have confirmed. On 28 February, the UAE responded with its policy of ZERO TOLERANCE FOR TERRORISM. We all saw that the UAE stood firmly against terrorism and called evil by its name. Some countries chose a different path, showing up to honor a leader who was responsible for years of regional aggression, the deaths of over 40,000 Iranians this January, the planning of the 7 October attack in Israel, and whose proxies brought suffering to Gaza and Lebanon, while more than 500,000 Syrians were killed.
HISTORY WILL REMEMBER who STOOD AGAINST TERROR and who chose symbolism over principle. The UAE CHOSE its side.
La arrogante de Darializa Ávila Chevalier fue al programa EL VACILÓN DE LA MAÑANA EN NEW YORK 🗽 y se molestó con el Pacha, Excarlet y Guebín porque le dijeron que se disculpe por ofender a los dominicanos y la bandera.
Darializa se molestó y se retiró del programa.
I challenge every single person who believes minors should be enabled and even encouraged to transition to read this first person testimony to the end.

It’s been 50 years since this photo was taken. Palestinian terrorists invaded the Lebanese Christian town of Damour and massacred 582 Christian civilians.
It was an apocalypse, said a priest who survived the massacre.
“They were coming in thousands, shouting ‘Allahu Akbar! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad.’
They were slaughtering everyone, men, women and children.”
Men were lined up against the walls of their homes and gunned down.
Women were tortured and gang-raped.
Babies were shot in the back of the head.
Pregnant women had their babies cut out of the womb.
Just one of the many massacres committed against Christians by Palestinians. This is how Muslims became the majority in Lebanon.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad released an obituary notice for Yahya Hamdan Sharab, a commander in the group's central operations unit.
I located an entry on Genocide in Gaza's website that has him listed as a 39-year-old civilian who was killed on September 12, 2024.

Legendary filmmaker Pierre Rehov triggered absolute hysteria among Muslims, woke anarchists, and other Nazis by releasing his powerful documentary “Pogrom(s)” online.
The mainstream media and industry censored and rejected it because it shows the raw, savage atrocities, rapes, tortures, beheadings, and massacres committed by Arab Muslims against Jews on October 7.
Instead of suppressing the truth, Rehov made it freely available for the world to see the horrors that Hamas and its supporters openly celebrate.
This is the truth they cannot handle.
Please share before you start watching it, so others will see it by the time you finish. Bookmark if you can’t watch now, and follow the brave filmmaker @rehoov.
Dear @nytimes
Remember when you put a sick child with Cerebral Palsy on your front page - and falsely claimed he was a healthy child deliberately starved by Israel?
I was the one who uncovered the truth.
So excuse me if I don't believe a word you write.
